How to pay the least

Ask for the cash price

Erleada

We didn’t find one.

  1. Ask your pharmacy for Erleada’s cash price, and one or two other pharmacies too.
  2. Erleada’s savings card works only with insurance from a job or one you bought.

Free from the maker, if you qualify Johnson & Johnson Patient Assistance Program. Patients’ income must be equal to or less than 300% of Federal Poverty Level (FPL). Or call 1-833-742-0791.

Maker’s card or discount card?

A discount card like GoodRx lowers the pharmacy’s cash price, but for a brand-name drug that price often stays high. Compare it with the maker’s card above. You can usually use one or the other on a fill, not both.

Authorized genericNot sold

There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Erleada itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. For now Erleada is the only choice; its maker’s savings card can lower what you pay.

Regular genericNot sold

We didn’t find one. Generics usually come once the brand’s patents and exclusivity end. Until then, the maker’s savings card is the way to pay less.
